Building My Life Chapter 2492 The Play is Over
At Rocha Mansion, Alan closes the door of the most isolated guest room where Reuben is naked; covering himself with the tunnel he was trying to leave.“You appeared before my sister like that, and didn’t ask her to leave?”Reuben smiles mischievously, “Alan, I thought you understood that I’m going to marry your sister. Still, rest assured she didn’t see anything she shouldn’t have. I warned her, yet she still wanted to stay here and help me out.”“So you still can’t get out of this tunnel by yourself.” Alan scoffs, “You’d better give up your attempt, my friend.”Reuben narrows his eyes, “You’re only saying that for your sister, correct?”“I don’t want her to see you like this all the time and start to doubt the idea of marrying you! Is that how you intend to support her?”Caroline returns with a glass and pitcher of water, hearing her brother’s question, “Alan, what’s going on here?”Alan turns to her, “Carol, why are you getting involved with Reuben in this situation? If my Dad finds
Building My Life Chapter 2493 Kicking her at once
The next day, Reuben was walking with Caroline through the halls of Rocha Constructions.Caroline was amazed to see Reuben wearing business clothes and a blue tie, as he’ll now work as her father’s secretary. The employees who came across them waved respectfully. Everyone imagined that Reuben was the luckiest young man in Lagoon City.“He is Boss’s secretary and dating his daughter, who would have thought!” They whispered among themselves.The truth is that Reuben and Caroline weren’t dating yet, but they behaved like that.At the moment, they were in one of those arguments that couples always have.“But, Carol, you need to understand that your father is not an idiot.” Reuben says, as always tactlessly, as he reaches the desk that belonged to Pollyanna, “He knows how to read minds and hearts.”“I think only God does that.” Caroline is confused.“What I mean is that your father knows who deserves and doesn’t deserve trust.” Reuben turns on the computer.Caroline remains in doubt, “Does
Building My Life Chapter 2494 Do You Want to Marry My Son?
Alan talks to Caio in the college corridors.“Man, you overdid it.” Caio advises his cousin, “Why did you lie to your father?”“I didn’t lie!” Alan gets angry, “Reuben was naked, just covering himself with the Lycra tunnel from the waist down. If he decided to get out the tunnel and...?”“No, he would never do something like that.” Caio shakes his head.“Remember that he is the son of Uélton Freire.” Alan becomes suspicious, “As much as he is my father’s best friend, I know how he did things without thinking. Reuben follows in the same footsteps as his late father.”“Reuben won’t forget the gas cylinder open.” Caio raises his index finger, “And he won’t get your sister pregnant before her time. I was four years old when this happened. Reuben’s mother almost died during childbirth, having a high blood pressure at the same time.”“And that’s why they didn’t have any more children.” Alan nods.“Anyway, Alan, my problem is that you implied something happened to your father.” Caio continue
Building My Life Chapter 2495 An Unfair Deal
Caroline was caught with the question that doesn’t shut up: does she want to marry Reuben?With Flávia’s urgent look demanding an answer, Caroline decides to be pragmatic, “Mrs. Freire... Flávia. I like your son very much.”“But not enough to marry him,” Flávia assumes.“Well, it’s still early for me to think about marriage, and sometimes I think Reuben is just joking when he says we’re betrothed.”“This is not true!” Flávia exclaims desperately, “Carol, Reuben truly loves you. I know you’re still young to get married, but when the time comes... Don’t you prefer my son? Reuben is a pure boy with good feelings. He would never joke about something as serious as marriage.”Caroline is moved, “Wow, Flávia, you defend your son very well.”“It’s maternal instinct. You’ll understand when you’re in my shoes.” Flávia smiles slightly, “So, Caroline, I ask you: if being friends with Sofia means having the happiness of having my son as your husband in the future, wouldn’t such a sacrifice be wort

At Crystal Blue, Caroline is surprised to see Patrick replacing Felipe as maître d’.“Good morning, Miss Correia.” Patrick grins and checks the computer, “You’ve reserved a table for two. Okay, I’ll call the waiter.”“Pat, I’m still not used to seeing you in a tuxedo, I’m sorry.” She holds back a giggle.“Do you think I must live in Europe Garden to deserve the profession?” Patrick is uncomfortable.“No, it’s not that...” Caroline shakes her head, good-naturedly, “A little more, and you can dominate your own restaurant.”“The opportunity arrived, and I had to take advantage of it,” Patrick comments calmer when he sees that Caroline isn’t making fun of him.He gestures to the next waiter. Felipe appears and is embarrassed to meet Caroline.“Carol... I...”“Table 05, Felipe!” Patrick speaks rudely.Felipe glares at Patrick and focuses on Caroline, “I’m sorry.”“What are you sorry about?” Caroline is shocked.“I’m the one who should be at the counter as maître d’,” Felipe complains.“But

The next day, Sofia wakes up early thanks to her cell phone. She shifts in bed, uncomfortable with the fact that someone is calling before the alarm clock.“Urgh... can’t I sleep some more?” She complains.After rubbing her eyes, she checks her cell phone and is shocked to see Caroline’s number.“It’s the brat, my annoying future sister-in-law!” She listens, “HELLO?”On the other side, in Caroline’s room, she is awake, dressed casually, and with a vibrant tone of voice, “GOOD MORNING, Sofia! How are you? Did you sleep well?”Sofia was going to respond rudely that she was still sleeping, but she remembered that she could earn Alan’s respect if she treated her sister-in-law with courtesy, “Yes, Carol, I slept well. Thank you very much for asking. How can I be of service?”“Do you want to talk to me in an hour at Café Montanha?” Caroline invites her.Sofia swallows hard. One hour? “Yes, it will be wonderful. We’ll meet there.”“OK, do you want Hector to pick you up?”“No, it’s not necess

At Café Montanha, Caroline and Sofia meet. Rodrigo is surprised by the two acting like friends.They exchange kisses on each other’s cheeks and choose a table to sit at.Rodrigo approaches them, “What do you want?”“Now that Reuben is no longer here, what a shame, I’ll have some instant coffee.” Caroline asks, “And homemade bread and butter.”“I’ll order the same thing.” Sofia asks, “Is Reuben not here anymore? Did he get stuck in the tunnel for good?”“No, he left.” Caroline proudly reports, “Reuben is now my father’s secretary.”Sofia’s eyes widen, “Wow, how wonderful! My congratulations to him.”“Now he will have a salary to support me.” Caroline jokes.“HA, HA, HA!” Sofia laughs, “Caroline, if I know you well, you already have a job lined up somewhere.”“Actually, my aunt Maggie is expecting me to study Journalism to work at Maggiezine,” Caroline informs her.Rodrigo serves both of their orders, “Bon appétit!”Sofia takes the first sip, “Congratulations, Carol.

Building My Life Chapter 2499 Nothing Is For Random
Josias gets up and continues talking to Felipe in the headquarters office. Felipe has to restrain himself from showing obviousness because he likes to launch intrigues.“Felipe, are you sure about this? Aren’t you confusing it with other customers?”“How could I confuse your beautiful daughter and the ugly secretary?” Felipe asks mockingly.“But my daughter... Well, I confess that today she said something that left me in doubt.” Josias scratches the back of his head.“I thought you deserved to know that, Mr. Rocha.” Felipe takes a step back, thinking about leaving.“Why?” Josias suddenly asks him.“What did you say, sir?” Felipe appears to have been struck by lightning.“Why did you want me to know that?” Josias repeats, “I thought you hated me now, Felipe.”“I don’t like the idea of having my inheritance stolen.” Felipe retorts, “But I felt like I should have come.”“Do you have feelings for my daughter, Felipe?” Josias crosses his arms. He feels like there’s something else to this s

Chapter 3237 Mary’s Quinceañera (1)
That evening, the Rocha Events Hall was elegantly lit, and the soft sound of a waltz floated through the air.It was a joint celebration for Ignacio and Mary Campos Mountain. But more than just a birthday party, it marked Mary’s fifteenth birthday — her quinceañera.Because of that, the entire hall had been reserved for this important and unforgettable occasion.At the center of it all, Mary danced gracefully in a flowing, elegant pink gown that made her look like a miniature bride. Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe
Chapter 3236 Support Your Wife
In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with
Chapter 3235 I Don’t Want Cursed Money
The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a
Chapter 3230 The Lady of Lagoon City Makes a Powerful Speech
At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”
Chapter 3229 Despair at the General Hospital
At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
